Synthesis and polymerization of 1,5-bis(N-carbazolyl)pentane with its structural and behavioral highlights
Carbazole, the well-known electron donor and hole-transporting organic light-emitting molecule was modified into 1,5-bis[N-carbazolyl]pentane (1,5-BNCP) by introducing the saturated pentane spacer. Such insertion fixed the certain space between growing polymer chains and demonstrated pi-pi stacking effect over its morphology and structure. Its contribution in improving the thermal stability and photosensitization was also investigated. The FT-IR and H-1 NMR was used to characterize monomer. Morphology of subsequently polymerized material was seen under SEM. The position of polymerization and structural change were studied by FT-IR and XRD, respectively. Thermal study with reference to glass transition temperature and stability was analyzed by DSC and TGA. Optical properties of monomer and polymer were investigated by UV-visible and photoluminescent spectrophotometer. The material was found crystalline, thermally stable, highly photosensitized and white light emitter.
